"After washing and drying with nothing more special than Charlie's soap and the dryer's energy saving cycle; they shrunk evenly to 11 inches X 11 inches. Now they feel a little thicker and so soft that I'm wondering if I should mark several to keep as actual washcloths for us - the people. I told my husband that the new washcloths' brand was Amazon Basics."
"I have been buying several Amazon "brand" products recently and I'm very happy to report that it has all been of high quality. UPDATE: I am downgrading to 3 stars because after about the fourth wash five of the cloths started raveling(?)."
"I was tired of buying washcloths at our local big box stores and franchises: they didn't wear well; even in the middle price range they are often finished with overcast stitching of a raw edge that ravels and loses bits of thread and pile in use and washing."
"It seems like every time I put a batch through the laundry another one comes back with the hem unstitched."
"22 are unstitched, including the ones that were already unstitched. We like them but 3 became unstitched after just one wash."
"The hem on nearly all of these unraveled in the wash. My washer is less than a year old."
"I bought 60 of these in March 2016."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've been using the Chemical Guys Microfiber Detergent which supposedly removes waxes and other chemicals from the towels, keeps them fluffed up nicely, and removes stains. I get pretty obsessive with towels and I do not want to make a chemical soup in my washing machine because the detergent is simply mixing everything together and depositing it in all the towels. I've had towels coming our smelling like cherry from one product, Sonax wheel cleaner, and 50/50 type wax... not good, especially when that color towel is only used for a specific purpose. Color coding helps but sometimes you need to do a load of towels and not all of them are going to be black engine bay towels (which I use a small amount of degreaser with in the wash and it works GREAT!). *SIDE BAR*: Do NOT wash your window cleaning microfiber towels with ANY of your other wax/chemical towels. The ridiculous thing is, almost every towel they make simply says "Super Towel - Made in China." Okay Chemical Guys, we get it; it's a super towel made in China, now can you take the annoying tags off the towels please? If I find out anything new, I'll update the review, and if Chemical Guys removes the annoying tags from the towels, we'll throw a party! (I mean seriously, can't you just put a little removable sticker on the towel telling us it's a "Super Towel - Made In China" so we can take it off with ease and without damaging the towel?"
"The El Gordo Professional is a great all around towel for applying and removing."
"These towels are a good value for one that is slightly obsessed with car care."
"Only gripe is the first wash of these and the microfiber material worked right through the black silk edges."
"I have a black convertible."
"Very nice towels."
"The dense luxuriant cloth leaves the ride dripping with little effort. I have already created a system exploiting the strengths of all three, but the common denominator is the rich dense luxuriant microfiber cloth."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Because the listing says it is 12" x 8" and a cheap store brand one at my local shop that I could barely get on said 8" x 7" so I thought I had a good estimate for how big it would be."
"I don't put my hand inside but I will note that the liner does eventually find its way out of the cuff."
"**UPDATE**. Customer service got back to me the same day I emailed them about the faulty product, and told me they'd send me a replacement."
"The elastic wear you insert your hand is tight and does a good job on helping it stay on when wet and is weighted down with water and soap."
"He didn't have any issues like some others did with green fibers coming off on the car...this mit was in great shape right out of the box, and is in great shape after using it to detail our vehicle just once so far."
"Was impressed with the softness of the mitt and seemed like good quality until I noticed that the elastic cuff was torn!!"
"If you are going to get a Chemical Guys mit - I encourage you to do so - but be sure not to get it from somewhere you'd get a knock-off."
"It was not easy to use as the material inside the mitt is not properly secured and keeps sliding out as you wipe."

But I put it to the test and really tried to put it in a spot that would stop the brush from spinning and it took more force then what "normal" use of the brush would take."
"I love chrome wheels."
"This brush lets me get into all of the nooks and crannies, as well as reach deep in the wheel to clean the area behind my spokes."
"I received a discount on this item for a review, I have very dusty brakes and my wheels take close to an hour to clean by hand this wheel brush powered through all the brake dust with ease and took me a quarter of the time!."
"It works great on my motorcycles in the hard to get to places and the wheels."
"i didn't have 2 change the brushes out as i just used it on my motorcycle wheels, so i can't give any feedback on that issue."
"Pretty good device."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased it as a "Reconditioned" product, so I'm not sure if my problem is a defect, or just the way the unit functions. When I turn on both blowers it functions correctly for a few minutes then one of the blowers turns off for a few minutes and then turns back on. It doesn't blow sufficiently on one blower and I have to wait for it to cycle back to both blowers to do an adequate job of blowing water off the car."
"We use this to dry our dog as well as blow out his coat and he loves it."
"The volume, velocity and the warmth of the air that come out of the nozzle blows off water from all the nooks and crannies that cars and motorcycles have. On larger surfaces I still use my squeegee but for wheels, door handles, side view mirror, engine compartment, door seams, window track, front grille and the whole motorcycle, nothing beats this."
"Doesn't have enough power to remove water from car, unless your right on top of it...It needs a wider nozzle."
"Not cheap but I use it from drying my cars & motorcycles to blow drying my dog and everything in between."
"Love this dryer."
"The hose end (opposite the machine end) is designed to screw on and off. Please see note below: For even greater air flow control, the hose cuff on the blower end screws off in a clockwise direction and screws back on in a counter clockwise direction."
"I read the reviews and was sold just off of those but when I got it and actually plugged it in...what a huge difference it makes drying my SUV."
